Patented Aug. 25, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MAX HERZBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, -TO PICTORIAL REVIEW COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK PATTERN SET Application led January 27, 1927. Serial No. 163,861.

It is an object of the invention to provide an improved pattern set which maybe used with facility by a relatively inexperienced person as Well as by an operator who is fully conversant with the manipulation and use of patterns, and by means of which such inexperienced person will produce results equal to those achieved by the experienced operator.

It is a further object of the invention to achieve the foregoing object by having the sections of the pattern set embody instructions for the individual manipulation as well as the treatment of the corresponding gar- Vment portion formed with the assistance of such section.

A still further object of the invention is that of providing a pattern set which will embody data instructive of the consecutive manipulation of a series of sections as well as the set of garment portions produced by the aid thereof.

A further object is that of providing a pattern set the individual sections of which embrace as part of their bodies elements which have heretofore been separate therefrom and individually manipulated with respect thereto, this expedient permitting a person using the pattern set to more quickly accomplish proper results with minimum likelihood of error.

A still further object is that of providing pattern sections which may be modified individually or collectively by the user so that the finished garment will present a perfect result, the mode of such modification being indicated in the simplest and most unmistakable terms.

Another object of this invention is that preferably of combining an instruction sheet with a pattern set, which instruction sheet will include full data with reference to the manipulation of the individual pattern sections and garment portions as well as the consecutive manipulation thereof, this instruction sheet serving as a check against the instructive data embodied in the pattern set or such being usable independently thereof, and also serving to visualize the manner in which various manipulations of the pattern set may be achieved to adapt the corresponding garment portion ensemble to the physical characteristics of the person who is to wear such garment. v

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 illustrates the lower front section of apattern set embodying the present invention; l i Fig. 2 illustrates the'back section of such se Fig. 3, the upper front section thereof;

Fig. 4, the sleeve section;

Figs. 5, 6 and 7, the belt, wrist-band and collar pattern sections, respectively; and

Fig. 8, a fragment of the instruction sheet, which preferably accompanies the set. i

In patterns as heretofore provided it has been proposed to provide pattern sections the individual manipulation of which has been indicated in the instruction sheet and on the pattern section itself, and Vthe manner in which these sections and the corresponding garment portions formed with the assistance thereof are to be joined likewise has been indicated. While pattern sets of this nature used with or without instruction sheets have presented a material advance over sets as previously constructed, it has been found in certain types of patterns, and particularly in .the case of a certain class of users, that the instructions, although clear and definite, were not followed in consecutive order and with that proper degree of care which would assure perfect results.

With this in mind, the present invention proposes a pattern set in which the operator in producing a garment will follow a certain series of proper and consecutive steps and in which these steps will be indicated to the operator in such manner that she Will visualize nothing but these consecutive acts, each of which will be' properly followed before the next step is undertaken, thus assuring a,

result in keeping with that for which the pat-- tern set was designed.

In the illustrated embodiment of the in vention Fig. 1 shows the lower front section F right side of pattern, including a sheet 10 of any suitable material-preferably, tissue paper-which may be provided with notches 11 and perforations 12 suitably identified and cross-referenced as disclosed, for example, in my Letters Patent No. 1,560,688 and my copending application Ser. No. 721,652, filed June 23, 1924. This pattern section forms the basis or foundation piece of the set, i. e., it is the section which should first be studied, and the corresponding garment portions should be formed by following the cut edges thereof prior to manipulating any succeeding section. After the corresponding garment portion or portions are formed, the first step of the series by means of which the complete garment is provided is that of turning under and inwardly the top edge of the garment portion approximately threeeighths of an inch. Thus, as has been indicated at 13, this garment portion or section is illustrated with the top edge turned in accordance with these instructions, this illustration being preferably numbered or indicated as the primary step as at 14, and the indicia at this point embracing written instructions of which the illustration is a visual representation. This miniature illustration preferably identifies by reference numeral 15 the salient indicia 16 by means of which the pattern section is recognized, so that it is obvious that an operator cannot conceivably err as to the section under consideration. The second step to be taken after the lower front garment portion has been formed, with its top edge under and inturned and after an upper front garment portion has been constructed with the assistance of the upper front pattern section E shown in detail in Fig. 3, is that of joining these two portions, and this step has been visually indicated at 11; it being preferably serially numbered and explained in detail as at 18. With these two portions joined in the manner shown, the next step to be followed in the particular pattern set illustrated and after the forming of a garment portion with the assistance of pat-- tern section back G shown in Fig. 2, is that of joining this portion with the two preceding portions or sections, and the proper accomplishlnent of this step is visually shown at 19 and explained at 20.

As a subsidiary operation or a separate step successive to the connecting of the back to the upper front section is the attachment of the former to the lower front section, and this step has been described and illustrated at 21. A further separate step which is subsidiary to the association of the sections E, F and G is that shown and described at 22 in Fig. 2, and includes the connecting of the lower front section with the back and providing a plait by means of the surplus material. Still further operations of this nature are illustrated and described at 23 and 24, which embrace steps 6 and 7, the former including the pressing of the plait and the stitching of the upper edge of section F, and the latter i11- cluding the joining of the shoulder edges.

lVith the foregoing operations completed for both sides of the garment portions providing the garment, there remains only the accomplishment of the finishing operations, the initial ones of which are illustrated and described at 25 and 26 in Fig. 3, and include '.he forming of the neck-portion of the garment and the attachment of the collar thereto. Thereafter, with the forming and finishihg of the sleeves and the attachment thereof to the garment, the garment will be completed with the exception of the belt, which may or may not be used, according to the desire of the person for whom the garment is intended. The attachment of the wrist-band to the sleeve, the forming of the latter and attachment thereof to the body of the garment is shown and described in steps 10, 11, 12 and 13- indicated at 27 28, 29 and 30 in Fig. 4, while the forming of the belt is shown and described at 31 in Fig. 5, by step 14.

As previously brought out, section F is the foundation piece and is to be considered, in the present instance, as the basis of the pattern set, and it is to this piece, after its upper edge has been turned under, that the upper front section is attached, to which latter the back is secured, which in turn is also secured to section F. For this reason, in the illustrated embodiment of the invention these steps have been shown and described on this pattern section. The next step, which has to do essentially with the back G and sect on F, has been shown and described on this back section; the same being true of the sixth step. For convenience, the seventh step, involving the connecting of the shoulder edges to form the armholes, has also been shown upon the back G, while the step of forming the neck opening has been illustrated and described on the upper front section E, the corresponding garment portion of which is essentially involved in this step. This is also true of the operation involving the attachment of the collaportion formed by the pattern sectionsllliistrated in Fig. 7 to the section E, whichqperation, for this reason, has been illustrated-ind described on the latter section.

The operations 0f attaching the wristband to the sleeve, gathering the latter, completing the sleeve and its attachment to the garment body have obviously primarily tov do with section D, and for this reason are shown upon this pattern piece; while the step involving the forming of the belt has been shown in section C.

Quite independently ofthe foregoing, it sometimes becomes necessary-#due to the individual peculiarities of the human ligurefor an operator to modffy the measurements of a garment in certain particulars, and in the case of an inexperienced operator it is extremely difficult properly to make such modification. Provision is made to overcome this dificulty by the present invention-reference being had to Figs. 2, 3 and which the garment 1s tolbe formed. In

order to overcome difficulties in this connection it will be observed, as has been shown in Figs. l to 4 inclusive, that each of the major pattern sections carries as an integral part of its body an index 33 sinmlating in appearance a tape measure, and the divisions of which correspond to units of length, so that upon the pattern sections being laid out on an area of cloth the length of cach corresponding garment portion'will be accura ely known.

'Each pattern section may include indicia in addition to that previously referred to and may embrace, for example, statements such as have been indicated at 34, which will be of material assistance in the laying outof the pattern sections, the forming of the corresponding garment portions, and the matching of these portions.

Finally, reference being had to the instruction sheet shown in Fig. 8, it will be noted that the fragment thereof illustrated includes a consecutive listing of the various steps illustrated and described on the pattern sections. An operator will thus be given a check o v means of which the ychronological order of steps and their accomplishment may be borne in mind; it being understood that this instruction sheet may include numerous other data helpful to the forming of the completed garment. This instruction sheet furthermore shows, as at 35, the manner in which the pattern sections may be manipulated to allow for more than usual length or shortness on the part of the garment body and sleeve, and, as at 36, the instruction sheet shows the proper manner in which the garment circumference may be increased, the operator finding it necessary only to refer to the instruction sheet and the shaded areas appearing on the pattern sections to effect a resultant lengthening or shortening of the garment which is being, formed; it being understood that the in- J creased circumference of the garment may be allowed for by separating the pattern sections approximately along the lines defined by the indexes 33.

It will be understood that (as shown) while the invention is embodied preferably in a pattern set including' a )lurality of separate tissue paper sections, tile cut edges of which are to be followed in providing corresponding garment portions, it mi Arht be embodied in a pattern set embraced, or cxample, in a blanket sheet or pattern sections having a surplus edge material; and that the illustrated embodiment might be departed from in numerous other particulars, according to the conditions under which the invention is to be used.

Thus, among others, the objects of ths invention have been acc'miplished, and since certain changes may be made in the above article, and different embodiments of the invention could be made, without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description, or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpreted as illustrative and not "n a limiting sense.

y It is also to be understood that the followmg claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.
